My MIL told me her chiropractor has a 9 year old patient that is coming for therapy for his autism. She says he was having trouble with wetting his pants during the day and focus and has improved in both areas. Just wondering if anyone else has had any experience with this? Our son has ASD and has trouble with focus.
Thanks,
Amy

Good morning
My son Diego is 5 and diagnosed with autism. Due to his sensory sensitivity (around his ears and neck) we have a hard time getting him to get a haircut. His last one was in November and very traumatic for him. I have goggled barbershop/salons that are good with autistic kids and have had no luck so far.

Lately my son keeps pulling my husbands hair. We tell him "stop" & "no pulling hair" but he continues to do it. I don't know what else to do. He also has been pinching him too. He has pinched me also. But he mostly does it to his Dad. Does anyone know of any other ways to stop this behavior?
I've also had similar problems. My son is non verbal and he bites me. Not often, and only me, but hard enough to draw blood last time. Last time, I picked him up to go change his diaper and he was in… read more
Autism, We have had to stand outside the last two funerals and now today a wedding due to running away, meltdowns, yelling
Thanks for the notes, appreciate the camaraderie in this situation
My son has been having some bad habits. Hitting throwing things yelling ect. We may be putting him on meds. Other parents I spoke with said it made a difference for the better when they did this. What are your thoughts? Hope you all have a blessed day.
My son is 7 and autistic he takes Depakote at night, does anyone know about this medication? It seems like it gives him restless leg syndrome, he is mostly non-verbal.
My 7 year old PDD-NOS love was recently diagnosised with Trichtotillomania, an anxiety disorder were you pull out your hair ( for him his eyelashes) Anyone have knowledge around this and can give extra advice. We have tried alternate "picking" distractions, but he always seems to go back.
